Craig Francis and his band were absolutely amazing at our wedding! Could not recommend them strongly enough! They were helpful, accommodating, super friendly and pulled off amazing music throughout the day and night! Had them for our ceremony songs which just made the whole thing more magical!! I want another wedding just to hire them again! Thanks Casey REVIEWS
Craig Francis Music
The act
Regulars at venues like Werribee Mansion and Crown Casino, Craig Francis Music bring funk, soul and R&B to Melbourne weddings and corporate events, with September, Crazy in Love and Signed Sealed Delivered among the staples. They scale from a solo artist right up to a nine piece with live brass section and percussion, and can fold in DJ and MC services, with all sound and lighting supplied including a microphone for speeches. String trio and quartet options cover the quieter moments. Couples describe them as easy to deal with, one noting the band took care of everything from the ceremony songs through to the night's last set.

Clients who booked Craig Francis Music
AMAZING!! We loved how professional, easygoing and talented these guys are. They got everyone up and dancing and the music was on point. Thank you so much for being part of our special day, we absolutely love you guys and cant thank you enough for an awesome experience. XX
Craig was easy to deal with prior to the wedding organising everything. Very organised and answered any questions promptly which helps when organising a wedding. Reasonably priced when comparing to other bands. I would highly recommend them to anyone else looking for a wedding band.
Craig Francis Music are the ultimate professionals. Everyone commented positively about the entertainment and loved their choice of music. Craig was also our MC and he entertained the guests, while keeping us on schedule. We highly recommend them and am glad we had them on our special day.
Fabulous fabulous fabulous. We had just 30 people at our wedding and even in a small venue these guys know how to get a party started! They took care of everything and were completely professional in doing so. Would hire them again in a second.
EXCELLENT. The song choices were fantastic and we had nothing but positive comments from our guests. There were always people on the dance floor and that's always a sign of a great band! The band interacted with our guests and got them up and involved. Fantastic evening had by all.
Craig was excellent. He made sure the schedule flowed really well. The music was great. He was always responding and acknowledging my emails. Definitely worth the money.
Thanks again for playing at our wedding, you guys were awesome! We were so happy with the music and it was great to see everyone up and dancing. Thanks for being so easy to deal with and taking care of everything that needed to be done, including my Hanson song request which was a pleasant surprise I had forgotten I had requested!! Craig's job as MC was also fantastic and seamless.
There was not one time the 5pc band were playing that most people weren't up dancing, everyone raved about Craig Francis Music! Thank you also for saving our date for many weeks until we had heard you play. That really showed us that you were confident in your service!
We cannot express how happy we are that we chose Craig Francis Band to perform at our wedding! They sounded amazing together and had a varied playlist catering to many tastes. Craig was a dream to deal with leading up - very accommodating and prompt. Couldn't recommend them highly enough
Good to know
What to expect
The process is deliberately short. You talk through what you want, settle which instruments and extras you're after, whether that's saxophone in the line-up or someone handling MC duties, and then it's locked in. Funk, soul and R&B is what gets played once the night arrives. September, Crazy in Love, Signed Sealed Delivered, that sort of ground.
On the day
Fully self sufficient. All sound and lighting comes with them, and that includes a microphone for speeches, which saves you chasing the venue for one on the day. Handy at a wedding, where the speeches and the music usually end up needing the same bit of equipment.
Performance options
Anything from a solo performer up to a nine piece with a live brass section and percussion. String trio and quartet options are there for ceremonies and dinner. DJ and MC services can be added to the band, and the final shape gets confirmed at a showcase and a meeting once you've booked.
Insurance and paperwork
